I like to see how close to shore I can get
Benne recently crewed on my rrimaran. He crashed it twice before we left Flinders Is. Ran it a aground and then into the wharf and dented it, that I requested we not tie up to that day because if 35kn winds and rough conditions. I originally was nimpressed by his ability ro ketch an anchor to get out of the shore where hed run the boat agroind before the tide marooned us. But I realised later its because he has had so much experience running aground. He also ran aground the other trimaran which caused some damage which had to be fixed. I was just lucky it was on a seaweed bed and not the rocks. He was good at fixing things but was a risk taker and frequently went to do unessesary actions whilst underway without consulting. His final act was to put the boat into reverse without notice when I was at the hlem doing 12kn down a wave. I then ended up loosing a 15" flexofold 3 blade prop wirth thousands as a.result and had to get anither prop ordered and get towed to a.paid mooring. Best thing that hallened was when I put him on a.police rescue boat back to shire
